Cracking day out at Armoy, as usual! Twelve races, not a single incident, and Mike Browne takes home man of the meeting with an impressive four wins!
Anywhere can be an office if you’re properly prepared, eh @sdbikephoto? 🤣
Another thing that Marc Marquez and Tadej Pogacar have in common, this time thanks to @insta360 😂

The stewards are going to be busy at the Hungarian GP. 17 corners at Balaton Park, and green paint for track limits at 12 of them 😂
The Chang circuit has been opened up as a refugee camp to help those evacuated from areas where fighting between Thailand and Cambodia has broken out. Buriram is only 75km from the border.
But this couldn’t be JuniorGP back on track. Thursdays at these races aren’t part of the championship, according to the organisers (unless you’re trying to avoid safety rules using loopholes). Wonder how many marshals are on track today.
Riders are back on track 🤩✊ @AragonMotorLand welcomes #JuniorGP for another weekend with plenty of racing action #RoadToMotoGP🏁
Garry Ringrose hasn't got a test cap for the Lions. He was selected for the 2nd test. But voluntarily withdrew with concussion. It maybe one of the bravest thing a rugby player has ever done.
